"Teachers looking to enliven the proceedings might turn to the illustrator and calligrapher Sam Fink's exuberant rendition, "The Constitution of the United States of America, ..".the book contains every word of the Constitution, written in Fink's distinctive hand, along with boldly colored illustrations.
"Fink, who has also created illustrated versions of the Gettysburg Address and the Book of Exodus, is at once reverent and mischievous. Throughout, we see his gentle but strongly-felt patriotism, along with flashes of humor."
-Ian Crouch, The New Yorker

-Lisa Parsons, The Hippo
